Support with Paws

Disability and mental health service that use Animal Assisted Activites to help clients with goals.

09/01/2026

Hi, I’m Ashlee, the owner of Support with Paws. One of the services we provide is animal-assisted support sessions tailored to each participant’s individual needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are typically 1 hour and may focus on goal development, engagement, confidence-building, or a supported brain break to assist with emotional regulation. Longer sessions can be discussed.

My trained support dogs are used as a support tool – not therapy – to enhance connection, motivation, and participation. I have both large and small dogs, allowing sessions to be matched to comfort levels and support needs.

•Seaford, Victoria – I come to you!

•13+ years’ experience in disability & mental health support

•NDIS-compliant, insured, and able to work under the Psychosocial Recovery Coach line item and other professional (capped at the PSRC limit)

Please feel free to message me to arrange a short meet-and-greet or to ask any questions 🐶

✨🎉 Happy 5th Birthday to our tiniest therapy dog, Marble! 🎉✨

Some fun facts you might not know about this pocket-sized superhero:

🩷 She has one of the most important jobs of all — helping kids with mobility challenges feel included. Not everyone can easily get down on the floor to cuddle with Bean, but Marble makes sure nobody misses out by hopping straight into laps for snuggles.

🐾 Sadly, this is why the next part is so important. Marble’s back legs are very sore, and she needs surgery that will cost over $11,000 to give her the comfort and quality of life she deserves. Without it, her time helping others will be cut far too short.

💌 Our wonderful friend Parker St Clair has set up a GoFundMe to support her. Every single donation — big or small — and every share makes a huge difference. The surgery will not only extend her life but also allow her to continue spreading love and inclusion everywhere she goes.

And one last secret… Marble’s real name is actually Gucci! We found it tricky for kids to pronounce, so she often goes by her nickname. Which means technically, any bag can be a Gucci bag — if this little princess is (safely) tucked inside! 🩷

If you can donate or share, we would be endlessly grateful. Thank you for helping us give Marble the chance to keep changing lives. 🐕✨

Our last two weeks have been very busy! Marble taking a break on a student, Bean eating Marble's Birthday Cake after Marble enjoyed the icying! Bean playing Vet with the kids in a play a lesiure class - helping them meet their individual goals, Alaska and Bean reading with students, the girls assisted with a painting a teapot, and finally, Bean snuggling in with one of her favourite members of staff. 🩷 what a magical week ✨️
